Background
Thyroid nodules are a frequent diagnostic issue, and the incidence of frank thyroid carcinoma is rising. There have been considerable scientific advancements in this sector since 2009, when the American Thyroid Association (ATA) updated its recommendations for the treatment of various issues. These recommendations were written to educate medical professionals, patients, and researchers on the best practices for identifying and treating thyroid nodules and differentiated thyroid carcinoma based on the best available data [1]. Thyroid nodules are considered to be normal; nonetheless, there are a variety of treatment options available, ranging from simple observation to precise removal of the nodule [2]. Although ultrasonography (US) plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules, its widespread usage in clinical practice may lead to variations in ultrasound readings [3].
Aims and Objectives
Morphological Characterization of Benign and Malignant Thyroid Nodule through Ultrasound.
Method
The Ultrasound Unit of the Radiology Department at Northwest General Hospital in Peshawar served as the study’s primary location. The purpose of this research was to distinguish between benign and cancerous thyroid nodules, and it was conducted over the course of six months. Our research used a sample size of 100.Ninety-two of the instances were noncancerous, while just eight were cancerous. SPSS version 22 was used for the analysis of data gathered via a retrospective study.
Conclusion
It is concluded from this study that sample size for our study was 100. Out of 100 cases, 92 cases were benign and 8 cases were malignant.
